Summer is on its way - soon it will be warm enough to just use the hose when the TP runs out.

Funny part is I visited Towoomba a long time ago. IIRC, that is enough TP to supply the whole town for a year or so!
Houston, we have what looks to be a bumper.

My girl walked in Wegmans on her lunch and it was stripped of all cleaning supplies and anything non perishable. Hit Weiss on the way home and although it was hit pretty hard she still got everything she needed. We typically have enough on hand to go probably a month easy. Not even worried about it at this time.
Heck that's a proctologist's view!!!!!! At least the Orion is assembled and in place!
Took the apocalypse truck to get groceries. Here’s the view from the local food lion:
Does anyone have experience mounting a 50cal to a FJ40? Soon I’ll need a raid vehicle when I have to resort to piracy to feed my family.

You have a treasure trove of oddities stored away up there! Very cool.

got my 3.70 rear in the rear of the 75, quite pleased with the results...now i just have to pull the front apart.
going to play with carb jets next, i think i can down size a little and still run like a raped ape.

You could not have more efficiently juxtaposed this image if you tried.
I think our next club meeting needs to be in the woods near Brian's place!
2nd!

Slightly related to the above video...
About 15 years ago, I bought an old BSA motorcycle from a guy. It was either Southern Chester county, or Northern Delaware (state), can't recall exactly.
He had a collection of original Gatling guns in his living room, as well as exact operable replicas that he built himself. He gave me a tour, and his entire basement was a machine shop dedicated to his obsession.
It was beyond impressive.

Been busy with a few things. Put a new set of old style oval front lights on the 40. Never did like the look of the squarish later style lights. Made sure I have a good dedicated ground wire for each light, too!!!! While I was at it I put a Toyota bottle jack between the front tire and the bottom of the front lip of the fender and by jacking it up was able to straighten it quite a bit. It was bent down from a few years ago in an incident where I was winching Crusha's 80 and got pulled into a tree. I do have a replacement (original Toyota) fender, just have to get it bead blasted, make a minor repair, and paint and install it.
And been working on prepping the V6 engine for Rob's 4Runner. It was a real PITA to pull it out but it's now on the stand. Preparatory to installing it I got up the courage to pull the top of the intake off to access all the damn wiring on that engine. With the top off I was able to remove the wiring harness on the engine. I guess now with everyone supposed to be staying home it would be a good time to yank the engine out of the 4Runner so I just might man up and get started on it soon.
If you look close enough you can see the curved part of Rob's 3/16" quarter panels under my trash cans!!!!! Along with the "new" fender I brought those quarters and a set of similar thickness rockers up from Rob Matzell's shop in Richmond.
And a question- maybe Caz knows offhand- is my front bumper a commercially manufactured item and if so, whose product is it? It was on the 40 when I bought it ten years ago.

@shmukster - that bumper looks an awful lot like a 4+ bumper manufactured by Dave Gore - I believe they could also have been bought through Man a Fre at one time, but Dave was/is still the guy making them. He’s lcwizard here on the forum. If it’s not a 4+ it’s a darn good knock off!

Wow, Gary!!! You have been busy for sure! Nice work!!! Awesome update... maybe I’ll come up to lend a hand (if you need) and grab those panels soon (along with everything else 
)!

Well his product sure looks like what I have. I presume John Pulich bought it sometime in the 2000-2010 time frame when he owned the 40. I'll have to look through the (considerably large) file I have on the 40 and see if there isn't a receipt in there. It sure is a well made bumper.
His stuff if top notch. I just put one of his rear swing-out bumpers on my FJ40. I’ll likely be going back for a Ubolt flip kit since my ubolt plates are officially mangled now.
